WTU Grants $1.6 Million Toward Hunting Preservation

Whitetails Unlimited is a steadfast supporter of the Second Amendment, hunter rights, and promoting the sport of regulated hunting. Last fiscal year WTU issued grants totaling more than $1,647,924 in support of various initiatives through the Preserving their Hunting Tradition program.

Every year America’s hunters and target shooters have an economic impact of over $110 billion and support over 866,000 jobs. Hunting is a wholesome family activity that provides outdoor recreation and organic food for millions of U.S. citizens. Major initiatives of Whitetails Unlimited focus on increasing hunting opportunities and providing outdoor experiences to youth, veterans, and those disabilities. This is done through our many chapter mentored hunts.
